DevilutionX PPC niche.

[Foxman]

And also one thing i have found.

Not only the graphic (blue/red) is switched with 24bit also the frames per second are a lot lower.

Round about 15 FPS on my Powerbook 45 vs 60 FPS (with 16bit).

See here:

Btw: Are the 60 FPS locked in this version?

[Foxman]

One question:

How the sound works on this port? AHI changes doesnt have an effect to DevilutionX.

[Cowcat]

Good you did find a solution I don't know if warpos SDL has support for 24 bit screens.

Game is locked to 60fps indeed and not only for this version. AHI is SDL dependent but this "warpos-for-morphos" version has sound kinda hacked to make it working. Fact is it works by lucky.

Newer build has the annoying error messages messing screen colors disabled but have to find a way to close up the game cleanly.

Hi,

nice to hear work is going on.
Is it possible to unlock the 60fps or is there a reason why its locked. The Vampire Port is unlocked thats why iam asking

Best Regards

A question for the developers.

Morphos version is finally compiled.

Still working on some problems like missing stuff from powerSDL sdk.

For Morphos developers:

Game needs "readlink" function but isn't found at link stage because all is compiled with -noixemul parameter. Any ideas?

Had to do some workarounds for powerSDL sdk: SDL_RWFromConstMem, SDL_VideoQuit and probably others are "missing" in link stage.

Integratin SDL_RWFromConstMem function from power-sdk sources inside code game does the trick. (WTF ).

All is compiled with latest MOS SDK (gcc 9) and latest devilutionx github upgrades.

Posixlib from Frank Wille? Not sure if you can just link in from the vbcc libraries. It also has the source for readlink if everything else fails.

Does that make me a MorphOS developer now?

[Cowcat]

I looked at posixlib before Maybe I will try again.

If not other MOS dev shows up, yes

Beta release for Morphos:

Music in game is missing. PowerSDL (mixer) needs a full upgrade among other things.

MORPHOS BETA4 AND WARPOS BUNDLE FURTHER DOWN THIS THREAD:

I crossed fingers for WOS version

[Cowcat]

Morphos upgrade above.

Music in game now works: I had to compile a mini sdl_mixer link library (maybe that could also be used for warpos).

Yea

[tolkien]

I have tried this last MorphOS version but have a few errors (An_BadFreeAddr) and the game doesnt start.
I can see a shell window that shows "Couldnt create director y 'undifened error : 0"
Unhandled SDL event : unknow 1

But I can't do anything and have to reboot my powermac.

So there is something wrong with the current SDL mixer lib then?

[Cowcat]

@tolkien

"Couldnt create director y 'undifened error : 0" IS the missing "readlink" function.
"Unhandled SDL event : unknow 1" is showed when in windowmode an event is done outside window (not a problem).

Remove Diablo.ini script and start clean. Also check depth resolution: Now game has wrong colors when windowmode is started but there are ok with 24bit depth screen. Weird.

Could be that in some systems windowmode is not fully ok and crashes. Mine it shows weird colors, except when fullscreen (whatever depth mode).

[Cowcat]

For Morphos, PowerSDL sdl_mixer is bad (and old) when SDL_Music* functions are in use. Even the playmus test program doesn't work 95% of the time. It amazes me than nobody checked those in years.

And not mentioning what the hell happens with other functions that aren't found at link time....


@Hedeon err.... so no: Current sdl_mixer lib (1.2.12) is Ok if we talk warpos and my mini mos compile.

[BULI]

Yes, on last versions Diablo for WOS sound and music working very well.

[tolkien]

It works now erasing the old diablo.ini bit MorphOS show a few debug errors in the game

[Cowcat]

If debug error messages are: "DUMMY" this is OK (besides the other mentioned).
